[00:49:38] @Original Authority which part are you from [00:51:01] Greater Manchester [00:51:08] Oh up north [00:51:19] Yeah in the poverty stricken north 🥲 [00:51:21] I’m East Midlands [00:51:53] Oh not bad, I’d say thats not a bad place to be from. [00:51:54] I suppose I can say Northamptonshire [00:52:29] I’m from the us I just live in England (have for most of my life) [00:52:46] UK better or worse? [00:53:11] Well I’ve lived in the U.K. since I was a baby 😂 [00:53:21] Oh 🤦🏻‍♂️ [00:53:34] But neitherless I would lean better as the healthcare is affordable [00:53:42] Free at point of service [00:54:09] For now 😅 [00:54:31] Lol [00:54:43] I would oppose changing it [00:55:17] Oh for sure. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it does get privatised at some point if the Tories win again at the next GE. [00:56:04] I don’t see them winning the next election [00:56:30] Free healthcare is something us Americans would really like [00:56:38] I would hope not. [00:56:59] Yeh [00:57:01] I think free at the point of service healthcare should be a universal thing. [00:57:04] I quite like keir [00:57:09] Hated corbyn tho [00:57:49] I think Kier has a better chance of getting a win than Corbyn does. [00:57:57] I’m a huge fan of Angela Rayner. [00:58:10] I’m really not a fan of Angela [00:58:15] Oh really? [00:58:25] Shes fine as deputy but I wouldn’t want her as leader [00:59:00] yeah, she’s a bit hot headed I suppose. [00:59:30] I have my eyes on a couple for future leader [01:00:08] I’m going to the labour conference this year [01:00:58] oh nice. Can’t say I’ve really given much thought to who I’d like as a new leader because it just seems futile to imagine anyone other than the tories winning. [01:01:03] Perhaps it’ll change soon, though. [01:01:43] Well I mean ofc after starmers either had one term or two term [01:02:00] I’m in the centre left [01:03:28] I’ve historically always voted Lib Dem — mostly because I went to uni in Sheffield and there was only a few hundred votes between them winning and losing the seat in my constituency. [01:03:36] I’ll definitely vote Labour next time, though. [01:04:18] Oh heh [01:04:39] I only started voting from 2019 - have been eligible since 2016 [04:26:05] oh and UCLA is out [04:26:06] 😦 [19:00:05] I now live in a marginal consituency @Original Authority. So the next election my vote matters. [19:01:00] Was in a Tory safe seat (my consituency was changing anyways under the boundary changes but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to move) [19:26:31] Reminder to all brits who vote: you are required to have ID to vote in person from May. [19:26:58] You don’t require id with postal voting [20:39:50] this tiktok congress case was interesting [20:43:48] Any special highlights? I was meaning to watch but the woods don't have wifi. 😄 [21:09:14] eh, just the ceo getting interrupted and congressmen asking if tiktok has access to wifi [21:32:04] It's always funny when tech studf goes to US Congress [21:32:36] "So, you're telling me your company offers a service on the so-called internets?" [22:28:13] it so sad that none of them appear to understand how the internet works [22:28:15] 😭 [22:29:51] the fact people vote for them :p [23:02:17] they're tracking our pupil dilations smh [23:02:36] how dare they [23:02:47] they access the internet... 😡
